They Freakin Rock. Explanation on the arrival of this analysis? ...simple. These people take real life designs and incorporate them into a wearable format for people in there second life endevours. I mean.. lets face it... who would really want to wear some of the "Noob" like designs made by a lot of self so-called designers in SL today?

(its all i could think of describing it as!!) If anybody is still keeping tabs on this blog.. which i doubt since the reason why it was created in the first place is just rediculous... but if they are - then please.

I completely agree with you on the price situation, but as for the "copying" of products and merchandise, what I had said before is still where I stand. This is coming from someone who goes to the local high school every year and helps out with the relay for life, and someone who is a vegetarian because of the animal cruelty. I'm very for all things to help out, thats why I believe those prices are rediculous, and its why I am all for what you are saying.

Why not point out when activities are selfish, hedonistic, have a big carbon footprint, or basically hurt people or the planet? Yes, micsxhurtx3, you can take a stand on a topic in a thread such as this, particularly when you are moved or offended, in hopes that you affect another reader. I rarely do, but when this item caught my eye, I felt disgusted. And my opinion is this: "Anyone who bought this piece of crap should be ashamed as they could have donated the $ to Relay For Life and helped a worthy cause. There sure are a bunch of suckers in SL who will buy anything as long as it has a "Limited Edition" or other such nonsense tied into it." Yes, I believe people who "adore" an astounding $40 or $60USD status-seeking piece of virtual bling for their SL avatars are shallow and spoiled consumers. That amount of money, the equivalent of a month's wages for a single family in many developing countries, is a poster child for frivilous excess in a hungry world. The fact that this crap sell only means there are a lot of you childish people around.

If you want to make such a stand, then go ahead and do so. Don't support these businesses that you believe are wrong. If people side with you, and see your point, these businesses will decrease in sales, and eventually have to close up. So you see, people must adore these items to keep purchasing them and keeping these businesses, well, "in business". And as for the childish insults...think of something worth our time reading, please.

You're using the confusion about price as another chance to market this overpriced glittery crap to "the beautiful people". lol, how funny, and how sad.

At first the author says it's 10,000, then she quotes it as being 25,000. It's a $10,000L item, and through this whole hubub, it appears he's only sold 2, as there are 23 still for sale. Talk about poor journalism...I wonder if these facts were mentioned if it would have been as 'juicy' of a story... Oh, and by the way...would I spend $10,000 on jewelry? No flippin' way.

There sure are a bunch of suckers in SL who will buy anything as long as it has a "Limited Edition" or other such nonsense tied into it." I also believe it is very sad that people spend so much money in SL, let alone RL, for fashion. $25,000L (approximately $100USD) for pixel jewelry? $1000L is luxury, $25,000L is Marie Antoinette-level arrogance. I feel you've got to have pretty twisted, out-of-touch values to spend that sum on your virtual avie when one billion of your fellow real-life human beings are living (and dying) on less than a dollar a day. “Whatever” has the best comment here:

Hit close to home, huh Freeaky? I didn't call names, I just stated facts. I thought it was stalker-ish to take the time to look up all that shit on some other guy. No trolling in particular, this article has been more than entertaining. It shows up on my blog feed. And I won't even call YOU a troll..lmao. As far as speaking, I could ask you the same question...like anyone gives a shit what YOU think? Ummm, no. Alt? Nope. I just don't spend every waking minute in SL like most of you no-lifers.
